Yep…discount codes pop up regularily in the online dealers websites, got an extra 10% off on my recent G shock Froggy 👍🏻 So passing these on to fellow Brits is a bonus.

It would also be handy for sales to members. I’ve just practically given away a black bay Chrono. If I list it on WUS I tend to only get enquiries from the US and I don’t want to get involved with international shipping. The alternative is to let eBay authentication bash it to pieces and then sit out the 30 day return period.

I would definitely be interested in a UK based thread. Lots of things we can discuss regarding events and local dealers.
I'd be happy to share details of where I've bought watches and what I've seen locally.
I'm London based.
Good one Big Clive

A really good idea 👍🏻

Let’s talk Bel Canto….

Anyone this side of the pond got one of the original few, or got an order in for the unlimited batch?

CW knocked it out of the park with this one……

No. I'd love to see (and hear) one.
Love the dial. Love the complication (I'm all for fun complications rather than a GMT I won't use). I still haven't seen any photos that make me think the case is up to the same mark as the dial and complication. It seems a bit...pedestrian.

I missed the boat on the original release, in fact I didn't know it existed until after they'd all gone.
Loved the look of it so I put my name down for the unlimited release - BUT...I just wasn't sold on the new colourways.
For me, the original blue dial was the best looking variant.
Mind you, I'd take one of the newer ones if money were no object. They're a stunning piece of design/engineering for the price

Yes plain case….but I suppose with all that stuff going on dial wise, the eye will be focused on that…

Like you would love some wrist time with one.

Same here…the original looked great, but the new colours are a bit wishy washy for my liking.

That may change if I had them in hand though.…….

If they had a burgundy, that would be a different story.

Yeah definitely, I kind of feel like it was deliberate to keep the blue & green exclusive (the two hottest colours of the moment).
Mind you, the black does look appealing and is of course a lot more versatile... I'd love to handle one and hear it chime in person, but I'm afraid I couldn't do without if I did
At least this way I can appreciate them for what they are without the cravings (for now)...ignorance is bliss hahaha

Now that would be tempting!

Talking of which, that Fears x Christopher Ward Alliance watch is nice

I absolutely loved this when I saw it, it seemed to get a bit of a cold reception on here though. Many weren't a fan of the small minutes track...I personally don't mind it at all, and find the design clean and quirky!

I never understand grown adults who need large numbers on a minute or hour track to be able to tell the time.
The markers a more than sufficient to know that it's 3.42.

Buy and wear what you like mate, and normally I wear just that without a thought about what others are thinking.

Lets face it on 99.99% of occasions that really is the case…….however….. a watch GTG or watch show is that 0.1% I reckon, because if we all turned up it wouldn’t be my charming handsome character that everyone would be looking at (Might have made that bit up actually)
but my watch, and in my mind at least, assessing me on my choice of wristwear 😳

Oh the pressure…it would be like my wife trying on dresses in a big dress shop….stressful in the extreme 😂

Ps I always take a good novel with me….those hours outside the changing rooms really do drag.

Can I join in too?

I'm actually Irish (not that you tell from my accent) but went to school and university in England, lived in London's East End from 1978-2012 until I moved a bit further to the south - Australia; moved again - Brazil - in 2020. Most of my family are scattered across the UK so visit occasionally.
